Where Did The Polish Cloth Come From?

"The polish cloth did not come from an Easter European country. It did not ride the wave of Diaspora like the Polish Sausage or Kielbasa did, only to be enjoyed in restaurants all over the country.",said the holographic librarian lecture. "The truth is, it was invented here in America over 90 years ago. It was created by using a top secret recipe that would clean and polish almost all kinds of metal. The same thing can be said about the polish hot dog which was introduced in Chicago by Polish immigrants hoping to add a little bit of old world flavor to a new world favorite.

“Umm, I think that your circuits could possibly be mixed up,” I then stated, interrupting the interactive hologram. This triggered the static image of the librarian to freeze as I explained further, “First there is the term Polish with the long “o” sound, which means of Polish descent, which is where the Kielbasa came from. The word polish, which refers to the act of rubbing a piece of metal to bring out the sine is pronounced with a short "o" sound. The two words are what's known as a heteronym, two words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and pronunciation."

I had my doubts that the quad learning processor was still intact, and I had hoped this cleared things up for the four-hundred year old software.

"I do not compute, Syntax Error number 4", the hologram asserted before totally freezing and then rebooted itself. When it came back online, it no longer had any recollection of me or of our past three months together trapped in the subbasement of a destroyed earth. I now came to the realization that the entire polish cloth enquiry was a failure, but I needed to ask if I was ever going to come across the secret formula ever again. If I was ever going to make it back to my own era, I needed to know how I could make my silver shiny without it getting damaged
